Operator Control and Monitoring DevicesPanels — 170 seriesSIMATIC OP 177B2■ Overview■ ApplicationEquipped with practical functions and a large user memory,the OP 177B Operator Panels can be used wherever operatorcontrol and monitoring of machines and plants is necessary onsite – whether in production automation, process automation orbuilding services automation. The OP 177B panels are nowavailable with a 4-color Bluemode display or a 256-color STNdisplay. The color variant complete with an integral Ethernet interfacecan be implemented with even greater flexibility. A USBinterface is standard for both model types. A further highlight isthe non-volatile message buffer included as standard that storesmessages permanently without batteries.• Touch/Key panel with comprehensive functions for operatorcontrol and monitoring of machines and plants• Contents of message buffer are retained even when panel isdisconnected, without batteries• Pixel graphics STN display Bluemode/Color with touch screenand additional 32 function keys• Interfaces for communication with Siemens SIMATIC S7(e.g. MPI, PROFIBUS DP) are on board• Ethernet is on board in the color version• Drivers are also available for non-Siemens PLCs• Mounting compatible with OP17■ Benefits• Reduction of service and commissioning costs through:- Backup/restoration via a process interface or optionally via aMulti Media Card- Remote downloading of the configuration with automatictransfer recognition via all device interfaces- Maintenance-free design (no battery) and long service life ofthe backlighting- System keys that can be assigned to any function keys andused as an alternative to or in parallel with the on-screenkeyboard• Maintenance-free message buffer• Can be used all over the world:- 32 offline languages can be configured(incl. Asian and Cyrillic character sets)- Online language can be selected directly on the device• Graphics library available with off-the-shelf picture objects• Standard interfaces for increasing the flexibility:- External MMC, used for recipe data records and for backupof configuration/system data• Integrated USB interface for connecting, for example, standardprinters• Mounting is compatible with OP17• Simple engineering supported with comprehensive documentationon the SIMATIC HMI Manual Collection CD• Integral component of Totally Integrated Automation (TIA):increases productivity, minimizes the engineering outlay,reduces the lifecycle costs■ Design• 256 colors with color display or 4 bluemodes with monochromeSTN display•CCFL 1) Backlighting with long service life• Analog resistive touch screen and membrane keyboard with32 function keys• Numeric and alphanumeric on-screen keyboard• High performance with Risk processor and 2 MB user memory,plus additional integrated recipe memory• The data in the message buffer are retained when panel is disconnectedfrom the supply, without batteries• MPI, PROFIBUS DP interfaces (up to 12 Mbaud) as well asUSB 1.1 (max. 100 mA) are on board• Ethernet (Profinet IO capability) with the color version• Integral USB interface• Can be configured using SIMATIC WinCC flexible 2005 Compactand later• Complete functionality for demanding tasks• Comprehensive Reichert graphics library• 32 languages (e.g. Cyrillic, traditional Chinese, simplifiedChinese) and Online switching between up to 5 languages• Multi Media Card slot, can be used for standard MMCs(for backing up recipe data sets, the parameter settings as wellas the system data)• Remote downloading of the configuration through all interfaceswith automatic transfer recognition• SINUMERIK, Sm@rt Access and Sm@rt Service options can beused• Service-friendly thanks to maintenance-free design and longservice life of the backlighting1) Cold Cathode Fluorescence Lamps2/104Siemens ST 80 · 2006
